Is this Iruna worth playing in 2018

For me it's worth playing, because there's still stuff I want to do and it feels rewarding achieving it.

IDK about the Toram migration you're asking about, but to me they're very different games. Sometimes I login to Toram, but it doesn't keep my interest for long, unlike Iruna. In Iruna the skills, gear, and xtals are way cooler. (also gear is not confusing like in Toram, with one name but a gazillion different looks and stats)

So I guess give it another try and see if you can find something in it which makes you want to keep playing.

Personally, even if I was the only one left playing this game, as long as I like the content, gameplay, etc.. I’ll continue to play it.

It depends on what you want out of this game. If you play it just to socialize, the decreasing community aspect will turn you off.

I would comment that it depends partially on what about this game interested you the most, or what about games in general keep you playing them. 

Iruna's community is NOTHING like what it was before. The majority of players/character do not speak English fluently enough to hold a conversation, so if English is your main language, you are in the minority. More and more often I run across issues when making a party or trying to trade because people will say "br? indo? ph?". The dev team is mostly unresponsive to us, at least from what my friends and I have experienced, even if we directly contact Asobimo HQ in japan. Many people scam, hack, constantly beg, steal from you as often as they can, and take advantage of anything and everything. 

Guilds are a form of community, but they are an utter joke. Despite the fact that there is no application system in the game, many people still manage by recruiting through group chats. Nowadays, it is quite likely to fill a guild with 100 people through recruiting and have all of them just be beggars. Many people are close minded when it comes to partying, despite the huge range of jobs and possibilities. 

I continue playing the game because a few of my closest friends still play, and it makes me happy to see them send me gifts every time I log in. I enjoy hanging out with them. I have made it so far in the game that it isn't difficult for me to do anything or go anywhere, so maybe I also enjoy chilling and wasting my time. The majority of the old and good community that was helpful, caring, and just wanted to have fun in a cool game have left long ago. The best people I know who left Iruna are mostly gamers that know there is a huge world of better games out there. I am in contact with many of them over steam and discord because they've moved back to PC games. I would say the biggest downfall of Toram is how huge the application is. It's tough on some phones... If people cannot afford a computer/console to play games on, they probably cannot afford to buy high end iphones/android that will run Toram smoothly and not crash. If they do have a decent mobile device, Toram is already no longer the newest and best game. It's Sword Art Online: Integral Factor now. 

But, despite the entire cesspool of crap that is Iruna, the game design is still mostly ingenious and original in comparison to the rest of the mobile world. If you do come back, I would like you to be prepared to be alone. You also will not have the novelty of exploring and experimenting like first-time players do, so I am afraid it will quickly bore you without a good community to make it fun. That does not mean it is impossible... just unlikely you will enjoy it as much as you did before. If you decide to not come back, I recommend SAO as the newest mobile game. If you also use steam and other PC platforms, I recommend Soul Worker and Closers as two very well made and fairly new anime MMORPG style games. 

On a last note, if you do return, feel free to contact me and I might introduce you to the remainder of good people I know. They are extremely difficult to find nowadays. 

hmm depends on how u view it -- but in my case ill take this game to the grave xD -- i might dissappear due to an uncontrollable situation
no phone
no net
accidents

but i will always come back as long as the game is still alive n.n/ ---still got aton of things i havent achieved yet

Toram is cool in visuals, but its really confusing. I just lasted 2 days.

Iruna is more newbie friendly I think, plus other people like the vibes of the oldschool visual.

Some players leave, some players comes in.

So I don't think there is a declining number of players it is still lively as usual.

I say no, but it's not like Toram is cooler just because of higher definition graphics. Anyway making money is easier nowadays due to the inflation.

That sao game is a joke iruna is way better and toram
